FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -But, what does a computer understand? The only language that the computer can process or execute is called machine language. It consists of only 0s and 1s in binary, that a computer can understand. In short, the computer only understands binary code, i.e 0s and 1s.

Detailed explanation-2: -Computers use binary to store data. Not only because it’s a reliable way of storing the data, but computers only understand 1s and 0s-binary.

Detailed explanation-3: -Definition. All data in a computer system consists of binary information. ‘Binary’ means there are only 2 possible values: 0 and 1.

Detailed explanation-4: -Machine language gives instructions as 0’s and 1’s and is the only language that the computer understands.

Detailed explanation-5: -Computers speak in binary because of how they are built. A computer is nothing more than a vast collection of switches. There are millions of nanoscopically small electronic switches on those oddly etched boards within the computer. A switch, unless it’s busted, can be either on or off, closed or open.
